Panama Viejo Tours

The hotel's location is excellent, right in the heart of the lively Casco Viejo district. Museums, restaurants, shops, and the waterfront are all within easy walking distance. There was always something happening in the square across from the hotel entrance, from live music to graduation celebrations and photography sessions, making the area feel vibrant and full of energy. The breakfast staff were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and very accommodating. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options, including fresh fruit, juices, and a made-to-order omelet station, making it a great way to start the day. The biggest drawback, and the reason I would hesitate to stay here again, was the noise. The rooms offer very little sound insulation. We could clearly hear full conversations from the room next door, and children were running through the hallways well past midnight. The rooms also overlook an atrium where music played late into the evening. Unfortunately, what surprised us most was being awakened at 2:00 a.m. by hotel staff vacuuming. The vacuum ran for about 30 minutes, and it was loud enough that I checked the clock because I couldn't believe housekeeping was vacuuming in the middle of the night. If you're looking for a hotel in the center of all the action, the location and service are excellent. However, if you're a light sleeper or value a quiet night's rest, you may want to consider choosing a different property.
